I am about to change my brake pads out because I keep hearing a very loud sqealing/grinding sound coming from the front left wheel. I am around 90% sure that it very well are the brake pads, as I read the manual and said they would make this sound when they need to be change. I also haven't changed the pads and rotors and im at 22,700 miles.

I am wondering do all 04 G35 coupe (performance wheel package) come with brembos?

I don't wanna buy the wrong pads, but I seem to can't figure out the brake system on my G. It has no name such as "brembo" or neither is orange. It has no name brand on it, just a regular looking silver/grey braking system.

Any idea?
What type of pads will fit?
Where Can I get a manual on how to change the pads? (only found brembos/orange)


Thanks for anyone taking the time to help me out. Sorry about the long post

Planning on stopping by Autozone/Advance Auto parts tomorrow.

 

scroll to the bottom of this page and you will find a cheap set of the right pads for the brembos http://www.g35parts.com/9083/osc/ind...c6fef97f221723
As for all 04s having the brembo package, Im pretty sure it was still an option and not all came with it. I am new to this car though and mine is an 03 so I can't answer that with full confidence.

 

Oh man. Please search my friend. I believe eljoker just recently started a thread for all noobs with questions like these in it.

 

You do not have Brembos. You can't miss the caliper, its distinctively gold and says "Brembo" on it. Your car is an auto. Only 6 speeds came with Brembo brakes, all autos have the "normal" sliding calipers

 

oh my bad, i thought he said he had them. funny cuz i read the whole thing twice

 

+1 to what he said!

The Brembos are unmistakable, and you would know if you had them.

They only came on 6MT G35 Coupes and only on the '03 and '04 years of them.

 

Thanks!!

I have searched throughout and cant find where it shows how to change these brake pads and which pads would fit. Seems like a bunch shown are brembos.

 

Well idk if you're wrong but they fit on a 2005 automatic, unless my selller switched them from a MT to their AT so you can't quite tell people they don't have brembos because they have an automatic people are using stock parts for aftermarket parts and all types of bs

 

Yes they can be retrofitted, I'm pretty sure the OP got his answer 8 years ago when the thread was started though.

 

haha sorry i was having the same issue with my brembo calipers I ordered from brembo itself to match the brakes to my calipers I swore were just aftermarket so unknown to me (at the time) I've now learned g35 03-04 used brembo (I assume now on both AT and MT?) calipers for their stock parts.....& so whomever I purchased my 05 automatic from has come with the golden brembos, so now were finding it damn near impossible to find the right brake pads for them....after reading these posts I think I may have come a little closer to my answer and the website is supposed to be calling me back tomorrow anyway but it's just bothering me now, so I'm searching for 03-04 MT or AT brembo brakes that match the calipers that fit on my AT n I'm realizing not many match but they will likely be from 03-04 line .... im a disaster and also disastrous at explaining haha sry maybe if u know anything about this u could chime in ??? Which I was only doing from the start sry lol

 

If your car has the real OEM 6MT Brembo brakes retrofitted to it, then you simply need to get pads for the '03-'04 6MT Coupe and you should be all set. Just make sure that someone didn't do a fancy paint job on your stock Automatic Brembo calipers (or some other aftermarket Brembo or Brembo-lookalike calipers) to make them look like the factory 6MT Brembos.

 

Ok awesome thank you !! I figured it was something like that!! That helps a lot though ! Xo
